Challenges
• Internet speed is not adequate for TIES use at school → mobile wireless service
• Few students have free access to the Internet service → Internet Café
• eLearning is still an unfamiliar experience to many students → learning by doing
• Many unknowns about how to teach higher education academic knowledge in Japanese to students in China → Textbook with video + study guide + Communication by TIES
